Man Admits Shooting 2Pac Claims Diddy Was Involved Exclusive

Rap Daily:  A man has admitted to being involved in the attack on rap star Tupac Shakur in 1994 and also sensationally claimed Diddy as being involved, inside Manhattan's Quad Studios in November of 1994, after allegedly being paid $2,500 dollars by James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond.
Dexter Isaac, a former friend of Rosemond, is an inmate currently serving life in prison for murder, robbery and other offenses. 
Isaac came forward Wednesday with the information on the eve of what would be Tupac's 40th birthday. 
He confessed to his involvement in the November 30th, 1994 robbery of Tupac Shakur after Jimmy Henchman identified him in a statement, relating to Henchman's indictment for dealing numerous kilos of cocaine. 
"I want to apologize to his family Tupac Shakur and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]," Dexter Isaac said from prison. "I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac] mother some closure."
Henchman, who is currently on the run from Federal officials, claimed that Dexter Isaac, along with other incarcerated inmates were cooperating with the government in an investigation of his alleged drug dealing activities. 
"If the government is relying on informants like Winston “Winnie” Harris, a convicted drug dealer and Jamaican deportee, who came to me and motioned via hand signal that he was forced to wear a wire and begged me to skip town or Dexter Isaac who is serving life in prison plus 30 years, then I’m sure I will not be offered a fair trial,"Henchman said in a statement released to AllHipHop.com in May of 2011. 
Dexter Isaac told AllHipHop.com that he decided to confess to the robbery to prove Jimmy Henchman's involvement, in addition to clearing his conscience for his role in the robbery. 
Isaac said he was comfortable going on record relating to the robbery and shooting which resulted in Pac being shot five times. 
Since the statute of limitations had expired, legally, no one can be prosecuted for the assault at this time. 
Isaac was a lifelong friend of Jimmy Henchmen, who helped the former mogul set up his first company, Henchman Entertainment, in 1989. 
Isaac claims he never cooperated with the government in any investigation, and Jimmy Henchman's allegations infuriated him. 
Isaac, who is also from Brooklyn, has long been suspected of being involved in the Quad shooting of Tupac Shakur, along with an associate name Spencer "Scooter" Bowens, who is also serving a life sentence and another man named George Roland Campbell.
According to the confession, Dexter Isaac not only knows what happened to Tupac Shakur's jewelry, but he claims he is also in possession of the Hip-Hop star's chain that was taken during the altercation on that infamous night on November 7, 1994. 
The shooting on November 30th, was the start of a deadly feud that resulted in the murders of both Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. 
Their murders have never been solved. 
Isaac was indicted by the government in 1998 and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison for murder, robbery, fraud and witness intimidation charges.Click the link below to read the full statment which also claims Diddy involvement

President Obama Roasts Donald Trump And Mentions Tupac And Biggie

Rap Daily: President Barack Obama got revenge on mogul Donald Trump last night at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton.

Over 2,500 politicians, journalists and celebrities, including Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons and will.I.am, attended the annual dinner, which honors excellence in journalism.

President Obama and Saturday Night Live comedian Seth Meyers centered the majority of their jokes on Donald Trump, who had been questioning if the President was born in Hawaii.

President Obama began his speech by immediately addressing the "birthers" who claimed he wasn't born in Hawaii.

He then set his sites on Donald Trump, who was booed as he arrived at the dinner.

"Donald Trump is here. I know he's taken some flack recently, but no one is more ready to put the birther issue to rest than the Donald," President Obama said. "So he can focus real issues at hand facing America, like ‘Did we really land on the moon?’ ‘What really happened in Roswell?’ And, ‘Where are Biggie and Tupac?’”

The rap name checking didn't stop there. President Obama also made fun of Donald Trump's aspirations to run for the oval office.

"We all know about your credentials, and your breadth of experience," President Obama said. "For example, on a recent episode of Celebrity Apprentice, at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the men from Omaha Steaks. There was lots of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. Ultimately, you didn’t blame [rapper] Lil Jon or [singer] Meatloaf, you fired Gary Busey. These are the kinds of decisions that keep me up at night. Well handled, sir! Well handled."

Donald Trump claimed he didn't think President Obama would address him during the White House Correspondence Dinner and called the ribbing "inappropriate."

"I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke," Donald Trump said on Fox and Friends earlier this morning (May 1st). "It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?"

Tupacs New Film Cast Details Revealed

The cast of the upcoming Tupac Shakur biopic film have leaked online, and the film will feature appearances from former Death Row Records owner Suge Knight and actress Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Knight and Pinkett-Smith's roles will feature them during their youth.
Suge Knight: Early 30s, an enormous, intimidating, larger-than-life man with a stone countenance, never seen without his jewel-encrusted Death Row medallion or his thuggish bodyguards (all of whom are members of the Bloods), he's the CEO of Death Row Records. At times a fearsome figure, and at other times a paternal, calming presence, Suge is proud of his authentic history. Jada Pinkett: Long before she met and married Will Smith, Jada Pinkett was a classmate of Tupac's at the Baltimore School of the Arts. A regal, stunning young woman (seen from the ages of 17 to early 20s), she puts Tupac in his place for altering some of Hamlet's lines in a school production. She encourages and supports his poetry, and tells him he was put on earth to change things. (Movie Hole)
An official film synopsis has also been revealed.
"The rise and fall of Tupac Shakur is chronicled, from his days attending the Baltimore School of the Arts as a teenager, to his decision to leave his mother's dead-end life behind and embrace the Thug Life in California, to his wild success as a rapper and his dangerous war against the East Coast scene. A true poet who was waylaid by fame's trappings, his earliest ambition was to change the world and make a difference in people's lives, and before his tragic murder in Las Vegas in 1996, that's exactly what 2Pac did..." (Cinema Blend)
The movie project is reportedly set to begin filming this spring.
Antoine Fuqua's long-gestating Tupac Shakur bio-picture is April. Morgan Creek has it. Is there a leading man yet? George Tillman's Biggie Smalls movie, Notorious, turned out terrific, though it wasn't a big money maker. Casting Biggie was certainly tougher than finding somebody to play Tupac from age 17-25. Tupac died in 1996, so how commercially viable he'd be in a big screen bio remains to be tested. His legacy is secure, but will the kids come to a movie about him? (Orlando Sentinel)
Currently, Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is slated to direct the film.
"It looks like we're doing Tupac Shakur's movie next in September, that's what I've been starting up and working on now," he said. "I've been working on that for a while with Morgan Creek and Jim Robinson. I just got the greenlight from him and we're going in September. I've just started to prep that." Fuqua added that he is hoping to find an unknown actor to portray the iconic hip-hop star, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996. "That's the goal, I want to discover someone new," he explained. "I want to discover a lot of new people if I can. Obviously I'm going to have to put some people in it that you know, just because actors have different skills. I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be in the world."
